GQ Men of the Year - Lawrence Leung

Congrats to Lawrence for winning the GQ Men of the Year Award - Comedian of the Year

He was up against the likes of Charlier Pickering, Josh Thomas, Tim Minchin and Dave Hughes.

From Melbourne, Lawrence Leung is a comedian, writer and director, best known for his ABC series Lawrence Leung’s Choose Your Own Adventure. The show, which is based on “all the things I wanted to do as a kid but never got around to because I grew up”, has built a cult following.

Lawrence Leung: "Thanks GQ for recognising me as a man instead of a manchild. This [award] is going to the pool room with my other capital letters."
